Last week we posted about an Oregon man who had his house pillaged by people thanks to a fake Craigslist posting. Essentially, the phony Craigslist post said that he had to move suddenly and everything in his barn and front porch was free for the taking, including his horses. The story received a ton of coverage and became national news.

The Oregon police have arrested a couple in connection with the crime, the husband and wife team of Amber and Brandon Herbert of Medford, Ore. So how did these two winners come up with the whole idea? Turns out the couple had gone to the barn just days earlier to do their own looting, stealing saddles and other items. In an attempt to cover-up their own crime, they created the Craigslist posting.

We’re happy to see these two get caught, despite their clever scheme, as I’m sure no body wants to come home to their house being ransacked by a bunch of random people. Now I can get back to searching the Craigslist Missed Connections for women who didn’t have the guts to come up to me at the bars on Friday and Saturday nights.

With all the high profile prostitution cases that have been showing up in the news lately it can sometimes be hard to understand all of the terminology that gets tossed around. Lucky for us an LAPD Detective who is preparing to testify in the “D.C. Madam” case has been nice enough to compile a glossary of common terms used in the escort business. All of the below vocab words and definitions are straight from the official court documents.

All Inclusive - straight sex and oral sex
Attempts - trying to reach orgasm. e.g. She allowed multiple attempts: means she allowed more than one orgasm per session.
BBW - Big Beautiful Woman, euphemism for overweight
CBJ - Covered Blow Job
DFK - Deep French Kissing
Greek - anal sex
PSE - Porn Star Experience

I think that all of these terms could also prove to be useful when navigating the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist. Hit the link below for the full glossary of terms. Can I get some clarification on the PSE? What exactly does that entail / include?

An unfortunate soul in Jacksonville, Oregon, got his stuff jacked thanks to a fake Craigslist post. The ad, which appeared twice over the weekend, stated that he had to move suddenly and all his property was free for the taking, including his horse. Of course the ad wasn’t placed by the actual owner. Robert Salisbury was working out of town when he got a call from someone at his house ready to claim the horse.

Salisbury immediately sped home to see dozens of people rummaging through his belongings in his barn and on the front porch, he even confronted a free-loader trying to get away with his lawn equipment, but to no avail, saying:

“They honestly thought that because it appeared on the Internet it was true,” Salisbury said. “It boggles the mind.”

It is indeed mind bottling.

As if prostitution hasn’t given Craigslist a bad name already. Seriously, I’m all in for clever and funny pranks using the Internet, but this is downright mean. Put a little creativity into it, like giving out this guy’s phone number on a “Casual Encounters” post, put his information on a resume for “adult” job opportunities or create a “Missed Connections” post for some girl he saw at a bar.

Hopefully the bastard who did this will get what’s coming to him/her. I especially feel sorry for the guy because of the last line of the article:

Meanwhile, Salisbury could not even relax on his porch swing. Someone took it.

This has got to be one of the better Craigslist ads that I have ever read. Click the thumbnail below for the full ad.

Please don’t waste my fucking time with endless emails. These are plain old cinderblocks, for fuck sake. You don’t need to do an engineering study on the feasibility of using these fucking things as building material. That’s what they’re for, you fucking idiots. Not listen, we’re all busy people here. You want the blocks? Come get the fucking blocks and give me one dollar for every block you take. How fucking hard is that? You don’t have to tell me what you’re building. I don’t give a fuck. I’m not interested in helping you build it either. Why? Because I don’t give a fuck. I just want to get these fucking things off my property. So if you want them, get the fuck over here with some money and take them. The next fucking moron that emails me with “I’m building a blah blah blah, and was wondering if…” The answer is NO. Come get the fucking blocks and build it yourself. If I knew how to do masonry, don’t you think I’d be using the block myself instead of selling them for half fucking price?

Thanks to Tony for the tip!

A friend of mine passed on this little gem of a Craigslist posting. Apparently a very talented and clever soul wrote up this post based on a handful of dates that probably went eerily similar. The post takes you through a narrative of a date from the women’s point of view, and I’m sure if your a guy, you can relate to this “date.”

My favorite part:

Hey check it out, I have more candles in here than a Roman Catholic Church. Doesn’t it smell like Hazelnut!? If I were to light all of my candles at once you could see my apartment from space! I fucking love candles!

Seriously you need to calm down with the candles. Sure they make the place look and smell nice, but I can’t imagine the time and money spent on keeping your condo/apartment candle-lit like you’re in the middle of a power outage or live in the middle-ages. Then there’s always the thought of fire safety, but let’s not go overboard.

Remember Best of Craigslist - always a great way to kill a couple hours at work.

The Best of Craigslist is always a good place to find some entertainment on a slow work day. Valleywag, “Silicon Valley’s Tech Gossip Rag,” has a little post about a Vagina Couch that was sold over Craigslist a couple hours drive outside of San Francisco. If you are looking to fill out your living room of your ass loveseat, boob entertainment center and cock coffee table, this is definitely the missing piece of furniture for you. Someone got a hell of a deal - $600 for their own vagina! The couch was originally made as an art school project (I wonder what the actual assignment was?).

The best part of the pictures with the post, has to be the one with the guy chilling in the vagina couch, he looks pretty comfortable. I wonder what it would be like to sleep in it.

Thanks to Valleywag for catching.

Here’s the original post, now on Best of Craigslist.

I enjoyed the awesomeness that is tailgating at this kick ass RV many times myself. Sure other people may bring beer, maybe even a keg but I can guarantee you are going to the only person in the lot with an external keg for easy access to that keg of delicious brew. You will be the talk of the tailgate lot as people walk by and say, “Wait….Is that a beer tap on the side?”

Looking for the ultimate in tailgating / outdoor recreation experiences? Look no further. This 20′ Dodge Open Road is a one of a kind. Customized interior paint, carpet, and window trimmings “tactfully” done in crimson and gray is only the beginning.

The pictures attached are before most improvements were made. The paint on the interior and exterior has been touched up. The final picture is the type of John Husky you will likely encounter trying to mooch free beer at Apple Cup.

100S OF EMPTY DVD CASES

TRADE U 30 EMPTY DVD CASES FOR 1 DVD

Does the 1 DVD need to have it’s case? Why would anyone make this trade? Does this guy think somebody is going to see his ad and go “Jesus Christ I own all 30 of those movies and I lost the cases! Jackpot!”? This is somebody that is to lazy to take the 30 cases to the dumpster of his apartment complex. How do I know he is lazy? The above picture has not been altered in any way. They were to lazy to rotate the picture so the damn thing would be right side up.

I want: Home Depot gift card. You want ????

I have some items I would like to get at Home Depot but have no available cash.

Let me know if there’s something else you’re just dying for, maybe I have something. (If you like American Girl, let me know. I can go through my items and see what I don’t need to keep.)

So this looks like your standard gift card swap until you read the part that says “no available cash.” followed by “accounting/tax experience” on the next line.

Anybody can fall on some hard times but do you really think I want someone who can’t come up with $50 getting anywhere near my finances? We aren’t talking about balancing your checkbook we are talking financial documents that are going to be sent to the IRS. That is one three letter government organization that I don’t want to fuck with. EVER. Let alone try to explain to them that the mistake wasn’t my fault and was made by the guy that I traded by Home Depot gift card too.

want to trade a WELDING MASK for cans of CREAMED CORN.

I have a welding mask that I won’t need anymore (I lost my job due to an incident involving a bottle of Bombay gin and a bowl haircut) but I need a few cans of creamed corn for a meal I have been trying to make correctly for the past 3 years. Let me know.

I am pretty sure this one is fake especially because it linked to a youtube video titled How to Drink Alcohol On the Job (Hit the link for the video). However I have to give them some credit on creativity. Not only the “bottle of Bombay gin and a bowl haircut” but the fact that they have wanted to cook a recipe for 3 years but I haven’t been able to take their lazy ass to the store and pay $3.21 (checked on Safeway’s website) for the cream corn. I don’t know how much a welding mask goes for but if you are in the market I am thinking this is a good deal.

if u can you get me a months memb on yahoo personal ill…. - $49

if you can order 3 months memb for me ill give u either or all :a new webcam,a halfway decent 10 speed bike or 2,a weight set or dvds

Must be one hot ass babe. He is willing to part with a webcam, 2 bikes, weights and DVD’s. If his credit card doesn’t work why not just use his ATM card to pay the $49 in cash. I wish there was a way to tell if someone took him up on this offer.

If he can’t message the girl can he say that he really “met” her. Just shoot me straight and say that you saw a picture of a hot girl (probably fake) and now you want to message / stalk her.
